Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Granola (GF)

Okay, you guys probably know by now that I have a serious chocolate addiction. This problem in only exacerbated by the addition of the glorious substance known as peanut butter.

It is a fact that I have chocolate before, during, and/or after every meal. I have been told this is "unhealthy". Therefore I have been trying my best to eat something chocolate-free for breakfast, such as an omlet.

This granola pretty much destroyed that plan.

Once I discovered that it was impossible to fry an egg in the morning while this heavenly substance is living in your cupboards, I decided I would have to change my strategy. From now on, no chocolate after dinner.

So I had my sister hide the chocolate chips on the top shelf in the pantry, far out of reach.

The next thing I knew, it was eight o' clock at night and I was hanging from the top shelf in the pantry. There was the after taste of chocolate in my mouth, so I must have devoured a handful or so of the forbidden substance in my Hulk-like frenzy. Now that I had returned to my senses, I realized where I was. I had no idea how I had gotten up there, but there was no way down but to jump.

So, limping out of the pantry, I decided that I would just have to keep my chocolate consumption to a modest minimum... starting tomorrow.
